Unsteady Interaction Of Turbocharger Compressor With IC Engine

Growing global concern pertaining to climate change has meant that engine development has become more focused on engine emissions. A method of reducing the emissions of an internal combustion (IC) engine is to use smaller engines but recover power lost due to reduction in size by using a turbocharger or supercharger. To ensure that a turbocharger is appropriate for a given engine it has to be matched correctly. This process is called turbocharger matching. Turbocharger matching ensures that the compressor is providing sufficient air to the engine over a wide range of operating conditions. Currently compressors are mapped by carrying out controlled experiments which put limits on its applicability to real world situations
